I learned math way better as a math teacher than I did as a student because I had to figure out how to explain it - which meant I had to learn it first. Open up your child's math textbook and read the section they're working on, get to where you understand it yourself, then teach them. The textbooks do teach the material, and as an adult I found them to be easy to understand and sufficient explanations.

A similar technique, one I use, is learning by writing summaries. The process is simple: study, summarize, link to other summaries. That said, it takes a lot of time to write a good summary!

This, and it’s hard work, no way around that.
